Dow Supports Footwear Industry with Plant-Based Polyolefin Elastomers

News- The new brand, ENGAGE REN, enabled by Dow’s Ecolibrium technology will help the footwear industry to unlock a lower carbon footprint and develop more sustainable products

Some of the key benefits that Engage REN will offer manufacturers in the footwear industry include

Improved foam quality and polymer consistency

Better resilience

Lighter foams with equivalent hardness

Improved abrasion resistance and durability

Engage REN polyolefin elastomers (POEs) are produced using renewable energy and plant-based feedstocks such as used cooking oil. As only waste residues or by-products are utilized, these raw feedstock materials don’t consume extra land resources nor compete with the food chain

Engage REN bio-Based polymers deliver equivalent performance in the final application as fossil-fuel counterparts and therefore don’t require reformulation
